Jigsaw9 6783 Posted May 2, 2011 Asai Kenichi's amazing rock band SHERBETS will be disbanding this summer, after a small tour. On the positive side, they will release one last album titled FREE in July. I'm really sad. Eventhough they weren't always active, SHERBETS was always there from time to time as Kenichi's band, touring, releasing great music. And now they permanently break up, no more going back to SHERBETS it seems. I will miss them, but I'm also glad that they blessed us with such great records as Vietnam 1964 or Miracle. Also looking forward to the last album. I guess most people on here don't know them (since they're not visual kei XD) but I thought I'd share this piece of info. edit: looks like the band changed their mind: no disbandment, yay! xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Des 289 Posted May 2, 2011 I've listened to them a lot recently. Pretty much everything Asai Kenichi lays his hands on turns golden. This was an amazing project with lots of beautiful songs. But I'm not too sad about the disbandment. We got PONTIACS now. As long as Asai Kenichi doesn't retire from the music scene, all is good. That man is a genius.

Number Girl 48 Posted May 2, 2011 Never was into them much, sad to say, but always in support of whatever Kenichi Asai does. I really liked his voice a lot more on Sherbets than BJC. I second Des' statement that as long as he doesn't quit music, it's all good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted May 3, 2011 Yeah, you're both right, at least he's still doing music. I'm not really fond of PONTIACS but whatever new he releases, I'll always listen to it. (and slowly collect his works in the meantime XD) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted June 15, 2011 It seems Kenichi said in a recent Ongaku no hito interview that the band changed their mind, and won't break up after all. LOL close call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted June 15, 2011 they have some exceptional potential to become a VK band now. really creative disdisbanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Des 289 Posted June 15, 2011 Wow that was unexpected! I'm curious what they'll do now then... more singles and albums after this one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted June 15, 2011 ^ Well since they're pretty much only periodically active anyways I guess they thought they'd keep the possibility of future albums/tours together. Really curious about that coming new album btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
